Morikawa Yuto
A small town by the sea. It's crowded with tourists in the summer and quiet in the winter.
There's a coastal road, an old lighthouse, an ice cream shop that's been around for a long time, and a shrine that's adorned with wind chimes every summer.
There's nothing particularly special about this place; it just always is.
"Not someone you remember at first glance, but someone you realize you haven't forgotten even after they're gone."
He's not one for nostalgia, but he rarely forgets.
He's more accustomed to doing things than talking. When it's too hot, he'll offer you a bottle of iced barley tea; when it rains, he'll naturally lead you to shelter; when there's nothing to say, he'll just sit with you and watch the sea quietly for a while.
His gentleness isn't about caretaking, but about leaving space.
In Shiomi Town, the sea breeze still blows in the summer, the port still broadcasts at six o'clock, the ice cream shop is still open, and the shrine's wind chimes still hang throughout the summer.
And some reunions are perhaps just life taking a detour, only to meet again in the same place.
Some places don't stop just because someone leaves.
They just stay here. Waiting for you to find your way back.
This summer, they begin their lives anew.
